Question # 1:
Literature helps us to understand the character traits and motives of many different people. Some people are similar to us, and others are very different. Write a well developed paragraph in which you tell me which character in The Outsiders you are most like and why. You may choose any character, but you must make sure you connect to them in some real way.

Answer #1: I think I am kind of like Ponyboy. I am like Ponyboy because he likes to read and works hard in school which I feel that I do a lot. The gang that Ponyboy belongs to says he doesn't use his brain sometimes, which I feel like I do too. I feel this way because not everyone is perfect in our world today and that sometimes I may not be thinking and I might do or say something wrong. Ponyboy did not get why Soda dropped out of school and he keeps on wondering why he did. When someone does something that I don't get I think and ask myself why did they do that.
